Solomon Islands

Solomon Islands is a country consisting of over 900 islands in the South Pacific. It gained independence from British colonial rule in 1978 and has since faced challenges such as political instability, ethnic tensions, and natural disasters. The islands have a diverse population, with indigenous Melanesian peoples making up the majority. The country's economy is largely based on agriculture, fishing, and forestry. The Solomon Islands has also been a site of conflict, including the ethnic tensions on Guadalcanal in the late 1990s. With a rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty, the Solomon Islands continue to attract tourists and researchers interested in its unique history and biodiversity. background - Canva
